Does anyone react to caffeine strangely. I took an excedrin tension headache pill today, and i felt all jittery, shaky,weak, and lost my appetite. Does anyone react this way to caffeine. It only has 65mg in it. It took my headache away, but made me feel so anxious and nervous.

Yeah....I cant have caffeine at all. I've avoided it completely for a few years now. I get all those symptoms you listed....thats why I dont touch it. My liver is dealing with alot of toxins from other issues...I cant handle stuff like caffeine, alcohol, chemicals, etc.

While I do not react like that, that is normal for some people. In fact the lost of appetite part is why many diet pills have caffeine in them. Acts as a stimulant so you burn more calories, and suppresses your appetite at the same time. The other things you listed are very common side effects to getting more caffeine then your system can handle.

I was wondering about that too. I've been gluten free for about 6 months and I noticed that I'm starting to have a reaction like what you described if I have really strong coffee. I used to make Starbucks, but started to react so I switched to a water process decaf which has been fine. Made the regular Starbucks again the other day and felt bad for quite some time. I thought maybe it was just that brand which seems pretty strong (even though it was not as strong as what we used to get), but we stopped and got McDonalds coffee today and even though I only drank a little bit I reacted to that as well.

I used to be able to have these before going gluten free and was fine with just one cup, but now I'm reacting. I'd love to know why going gluten free would affect that if anyone knows! Thank goodness I never drank much caffeine so it's not that hard to cut out for me. I can still drink tea with caffeine just not coffee.

I'm not sure this is true, but maybe it's that you didn't absorb all of the caffeine before going gluten free? I don't know how caffeine is absorbed though so I'm not sure this would be it.

I have a similar reaction to big amounts of caffeine, but I've learned to recognize what my limit is, and as long as I don't exeed it, I can have some. I prefer tea though because i can drink more of it before getting jittery. :)

Well I'm horrible and sometimes substitute a Coca-Cola for a meal...I find that if I have two or so sodas throughout the day my stomach starts going crazy...could be because of the caffene and carbonation that makes me feel that way and lack of substaintial food in my system...sometimes if you aren't eating enough, caffene can really mess with you!

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
